Lancom Systems AirLancer Cable NJ-NP 6m — coaxial cable with N-type male to N-type female, 6 m

Lancom Systems AirLancer Cable NJ-NP 6m is a 6-metre coaxial cable with an N-type male connector on one end and an N-type female connector on the other. Designed for RF and antenna connections, this cable provides a durable, lead-free connection between radio equipment and external antennas. The cable is supplied as a single unit in a package weighing approximately 810 g and is manufactured in Taiwan. Its construction and shielding reduce signal attenuation and support the gain of connected external antennas in outdoor Wi‑Fi installations.

Advantages

The AirLancer Cable NJ-NP 6m features double shielding and low attenuation to minimise signal loss over extended runs. It uses screw-locking N-type connectors to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. The cable is magnetically shielded and built to 50 Ω impedance, with a PVC jacket that provides protection suitable for outdoor routing and installation. Its lead-free construction conforms to materials requirements for many professional deployments.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Wi‑Fi installations requiring a longer separation between radio and antenna
• Connecting external antennas to access points, radios, or repeaters
• RF test setups where a robust N-type male to N-type female link is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 6 metres
• Connector types: N-type male (straight) to N-type female (straight)
• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Shielding: double shielded, magnetically shielded
• Frequency suitability: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• Jacket material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Design: screw-locking N connectors
• Construction: lead-free

How to use

Ensure both the radio device and the antenna are powered off before connecting the cable. Align the N-type male connector with the N-type female socket and tighten the screw-locking coupling finger-tight, then secure with an appropriate torque wrench if specified by the radio or antenna manufacturer. Route the cable to minimise sharp bends and avoid kinking; maintain gentle curves with a radius larger than the cable diameter. For outdoor runs, use appropriate clips or mounts to secure the cable and prevent mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best RF performance, keep cable length as short as practical while maintaining the required separation. Use rated weatherproofing at connector junctions when the connection is exposed to the elements, and check connector torque periodically to ensure a reliable electrical connection.
